MIHEC March Learning Community Event: The Portable Credential and Planning for Life After College

Dr. Christi Kasa, from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, will share two important aspects of Colorado’s inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs-- The Portable Credential and Planning for Life After College. She will be joined by one of her students who will share their experience. First, she will provide details about the portable credential available at 3 of Colorado’s IPSEs where students earn a Comprehensive Higher Education Certificate and students' area of study is noted on their official transcript. She will convey the philosophy and process behind this credential. Next, she will discuss ways for IPSEs to help students transition to life after college. While in college, students learn skills to plan and guide their own life and become quite successful in the context of the university and the local community. Dr. Kasa will show ways to support students to carry those important skills forward to build a life they love after college. She will offer some basic practices they have developed and discuss how to continue to develop practices that support students to use the skills they learned in college to create successful lives after graduation.
